About Pier Labs


Pier Labs is a federally incorporated non-profit research organization that seeks partnership with various sectors, including not-for-profit, for-profit, academia, foundations, and government to help solve some of the toughest social policy problems our country is facing.

In partnership with Davis Pier Consulting, Pier Labs works within the following spaces:

Social science research
  • We use evidencebased policy approaches such as translating existing research, developing field experiments and randomized control trials, and using other quasiexperimental and evaluation techniques.
-
Behavioural science
  • We have expertise in behavioural science (also known as behavioural economics or behavioural insights) and use the knowledge of human decisionmaking and common behavioural biases to design "nudge" projects to improve policies, programs, and services.
-
Human-centred design
  • We work with citizens, stakeholders, and government using a formalized design thinking process to develop innovative solutions that can be tested, iterated and scaled.

What we are seeking:

- particularly individuals from equity-seeking groups.

Finance & Accounting: Experience in corporate or not for profit accounting and finance, to assess financial viability, financial planning, and oversee funding arrangements.
-
Domain Experience: Experience working on addressing complex issues in areas such as poverty, food insecurity, unemployment, housing and homelessness, and community health.
-
Research and Innovation Experience: Exposure to environments fostering formalized research and innovation efforts, including academia, policy institutes, startup accelerators, or research and development operations.
-
Community Involvement: Time spent volunteering or working directly with community members and organizations.
